In this series I team up with CRT shaman Steve from Retro Tech and we talk about CRTs, TVs and other retro gaming topics. On this episode we are fortunate enough to speak to Martin Hejnfelt from Denmark. Martin has done some amazing work in the retro community designing input cards and control replacements for pro CRTs. Some of Martin's work: * Designing the BKM-68x & BKM-129x replacement input cards for Sony pro CRTs. * Designing input cards and RGB mods for JVC sets * Reverse engineering the control protocols for Sony BVM remotes The three of us had a beer open and we have a fun, casual chat. Credit to Martin, the conversation flows easily and he has a wealth of knowledge. 0:00 Start 05:05 Reverse engineering BVM remotes 11:30 What do those BVM memory cards do?? 20:00 Martin grew up with a C64 31:20 How available are pro CRTs in Denmark / Europe? 37:00 Euro SCART vs US component 48:00 What happened to home theater audio? 59:50 The high and low tech Japanese toilets 01:03:45 Part shortage means less cards from Martin 01:07:00 Steve is definitly rigging the CRT market 01:16:45 New projects focused on using common parts Martin's technical write ups: https://immerhax.com/ Martin on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MartinHejnfelt You can find the audio on the web or your favorite podcast app: https://anchor.fm/zezretro https://twitter.com/louiszezeran https://twitter.com/usa_retro For all your CRT repair needs, check out Steve's channel: null Zez Retro Audio: https://anchor.fm/zezretro Zez Retro Video: null Twitter: https://twitter.com/louiszezeran Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/louiszezeran
